Gadget Review: Nakamichi Portable Bluetooth Speakers NBS8



It's weird to hear myself speak on camera, but I've done a video review of the new Nakamichi Bluetooth Speakers NBS8 that was sent to me because I wanted to show you how it looks, how it sounds and how easy it is to use.



I do think that the motion sensor is a bit daft because I would normally control the music from my phone wirelessly, but it is a fun feature to have, especially when you are in a car for example, or have hands full of chips and salsa at a party.

HOWEVER, I am very impressed by the portability/size of it while the speakers still delivers on the sound - especially the bass. The internal battery (chargeable by USB) also means you don't have to worry about a plug when you bring it out.

For SGD$169 I can't think of any better Christmas gift for your friends or family for the home, or to get one for yourself to bring to parties or presentations!

    1. when you are charging there's a small orange light beside the power point.. and it will be blue when fully charged. So you can estimate the usage to be around 5 hours playing time from full charge. There's no % indicator but most devices do not have.
